Syrian Youth Empowerment Initiative: Dialogue in Damascus on Higher Education Opportunities

On 15 August 2025, Madaniya hosted an introductory dialogue session under the Syrian Youth Empowerment Initiative, dedicated to exploring opportunities for pursuing higher education abroad.

The session aimed to familiarise high school, university, and master’s students with the requirements and conditions of various academic programmes, while also offering them the chance to raise questions directly with experts and peers. The event created an open space for meaningful exchange between aspiring students and alumni who had already experienced higher education opportunities abroad, fostering peer learning, sharing practical advice, and building confidence for those preparing to take the next steps in their academic journeys.

This initiative reflects Madaniya’s broader commitment to empowering Syrian youth, expanding access to education, and equipping the next generation with the knowledge and tools needed to shape a more just and democratic future.
